How to View Outlook Messages in Timezone different from the Systems Time.

Hi Team,

My Name is Abhishek. I am from India.

I just want to know one thing related to MS Outlook 2007 Version.

To deal with Hongkong customers and to work in database we have kept the systems time as HongKong Time (GMT + 07: 30) in my official Laptop.

So. when I receive any email in the Inbox it shows the message received time in Hong Kong Time which is the systems Time right now.

But As I stay in India, I just want to see my all Outllook received Messages in Indian Time (GMT + 05: 30), without disturbing the systems time.  I just get confused when I receive any email and it shows in systems Hong Kong Time.

Is it possible to change my outlook message receiving display time to Indian time without disturbing my systems time...If so, pls help me by telling the procedure how to do it...

Thanking You

Abhishek

Hello Abhishek,

Adjusting the time zone in outlook also alters the system time, I think outlook is design to always mirror the time zone of you system clock, however, it might be possible that you can set an adjustment to help operate outlook time zone independent of the CPU system clock, try the step below to see if this solve the problem for you:

    On the Tools menu, click Options.
    Click Calendar Options.
    Click Time Zone.
    Click to select the Adjust daylight saving time check box.
    Click OK three times.
    Exit Outlook.
    Restart Outlook,  now repeat steps 1 through 3 to check that the Adjust daylight saving time check box is still selected.

I am trying to follow these steps Nezer, but Adjust for Daylight saving time, checkbox is not enabled for HongKong Time Zone and also for the Indian Time  I have added in the Additional Time Zone. 

Please guide me how to enable the checkbox (Adjust for daylight saving time) for these two time zones.

or, help me with any other possible way to see all the emails in Indian Standard Time. (Without changing the Systems Time Zone from HKT to IST)

Thanks
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek:

There are no Daylight saving time for  HongKong Time Zone and also for the Indian Time, so the checkbox will be greyed out.

As Nezer mentioned above: Adjusting the time zone in outlook also alters the system time, I think outlook is design to always mirror the time zone of you system clock. We couldnt change this within Outlook.

Thanks for your understanding.
